  2. You will develop deep relationships with international design brands and luxury products, in order to determine which of those brands and products should be integrated into our aircraft.
  3. You will conduct research into emerging design and technology trends.
  4. You will present our design ideas, concepts, and products to customers and gather feedback from our end-customers and representatives.
  5. You will create a detailed and inspiring vision on how to identify and meet customers’ needs for business aircraft.
  6. You will lead, plan, organize, and execute projects with a team of highly skilled and diverse designers.
  7. You will collaborate with engineering and manufacturing teams to rapidly experiment and iterate on design concepts to bring them to reality.
